Cultivation starts with time management

But after Song He's reminder in the dungeon of the Discipline Hall, Qiu Changtian already understood that the political factions inside Kunlun probably started to exert their strength.

Luo Zhao Xu Ge, the four major families of Kunlun.Qiu Changtian probably belongs to the Xu family, and Ziwei is the authoritative representative of the Ge family.

The two are closely united through the master-student relationship, and the remaining two will naturally respond.

Elder Jiu Ce is Luo Baiyuan's second grandfather, and Master Yunhong is the "candidate for the head teacher" that the Zhao family has cultivated. They are sent to serve as "Qiu Changtian's deputy". The meaning of power separation is too obvious. The teacher was probably forced to compromise, and there was nothing he could do.

But...it was a coincidence.

Senior Brother Yunhong, this time it was you who delivered it to your door, so I'm sorry!

Chapter 66 Indecision

The war that most people imagined: the war is first fought, followed by a large-scale mobilization of troops, and then the front line encounters the enemy, and finally kills bloody rivers.

The actual war of monks: the blood flowed like a river.

There was neither a letter of war nor a large-scale mobilization of troops. Nearly a hundred real people from the Demon Sect quickly infiltrated from the Heluo area to Guanzhong, and raided 24 Kunlun mines in a row within a few days.

In the main hall of Kunlun, many high-level officials had already gathered together, and Qiu Changtian quickly proposed countermeasures.

The first is to send several elders to guard the Guanzhong area, ready to deal with the surprise attack of the Demon Cult at any time.

The second is to improve the defense of the mines. Each mine must be guarded by a real person, and every ten mines will have a team of real people to support and build a strong enough dynamic defense line.

"Although this strategy is good, is it too conservative?" Reverend Yunhong objected, "The Guanzhong area is more than a thousand miles deep. Even if we send a hundred times, a thousand times more people to build a defense line, it is still impossible to completely prevent the infiltration of the Demon Cult."

"It's better to mobilize capable forces and surprise the headquarters of the Yin Ghost Dao in Beiman Mountain. As long as the Demon Cult comes to rescue, we will push the front line to the Heluo area, and the initiative is also in our hands."

In all fairness, Master Yunhong's strategy is indeed good, and it is more active and flexible than Qiu Changtian's strategy.

However, the more proactive the strategy, the greater the loss after being targeted. On the contrary, even if the Demon Sect knows about Qiu Changtian's overt scheme of "strengthening the fortress and fighting a silent battle", it is difficult to make it against.

"Senior Brother Yunhong's plan is very good." Qiu Changtian smiled slightly, "However, Beiman Mountain is the location of the Yin Ghost Dao, which is well known in the world. The Devil Dao Society didn't expect us to use beheading tactics?"

"If they set up an ambush on Beiman Mountain, the surprise attack troops will suffer heavy losses. As the coordinator of this operation, I cannot just sit back and watch Kunlun monks step into danger."

"Junior Brother Chang Geng's words are reasonable, but don't you hear that 'the imaginary is the real, and the real is the illusory'?" Master Yunhong didn't think so, but turned his head to look at Elder Jiu Ce, and continued, "Looking at my relationship with the Demon Sect over the years in Kunlun The battles were mainly passive defense, which also left a conservative and rigid impression on Mo Dao. Because of this, Yin Gui Dao never imagined that we would adopt such a radical strategy this time."

"In my opinion, it's better to have a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, follow Chang Geng's strategy and strengthen defenses in the Guanzhong area to prevent the mines from falling. At the same time, it can also confuse the Demon Cult and make them think that we are still planning to take charge of the defense."

"On the other hand, we mobilized elite forces among the elders and real people to launch a surprise attack on Beimang Mountain, forcing the Demon Cult to rescue them."

"If this plan is successful, not only will the danger in Guanzhong be resolved, but it will also contain and kill the frontline forces of the Demon Cult."

"Reverend Yunhong is right." Elder Jiu Ce nodded, and said with airs, "Reverend Chang Geng, if you want to be a general, you must make a decision. Don't be indecisive."

Who are you scolding!Qiu Changtian was secretly angry.

Elder Jiu Ce publicly supported the proposal of Master Yunhong, coupled with this four-character comment of "indecisiveness", it was undoubtedly a major blow to the prestige of Qiu Changtian, who was coordinating the war for the first time.

The key point is that Qiu Changtian is not able to directly refute this Nascent Soul Elder regardless of his seniority or seniority.

Even if the other party says "I think Kunlun should surrender", Qiu Changtian can only say "haha, the elder is really humorous", and must not directly deny and belittle the other party, otherwise it will inevitably give the rest of the Yuanying elders the impression that "the younger generation is too sharp and arrogant." domineering" bad impression.

So Qiu Changtian smiled casually, and explained euphemistically:

"It's not because he was indecisive, but Chang Geng was in charge of the war, if he was not careful, his family members would fall, so he could only be cautious, like walking on thin ice, lest he might lose."

"Realist Chang Geng really has a kind heart." Another Nascent Soul Elder came out, smiling kindly, "It's just that kindness doesn't command soldiers, if this is what I fear, then that's what I fear, how to defeat the Demon Cult?"

Qiu Changtian kept smiling, and had ten thousand things to say in his heart.

Looking at Headmaster Ziwei again, this master also had a cold expression, realizing that the elders who jumped out of the "sharp comment" in front of them represented that the Luo family and the Zhao family had joined forces.

However, these people seem to be discussing the matter on the surface, and they are beyond reproach.Even if they asked the Immortal to make a small report, with Chisong Immortal's character, it is impossible to speak out for this kind of dispute.

Soon, the elders present expressed their opinions.

The elders of the Luo family and the Zhao family thought that Master Chang Geng's strategy was too conservative and could not deter the Demon Cult.

The elders of the Xu family and the Ge family defended Master Chang Geng one after another, thinking that military affairs are serious and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

As for the largest number of neutral elders, most of them are on Zhao Jinghong's side.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that if Zhao Jinghong's strategy can be successful, the strategic advantage it will bring to Kunlun is obvious.

As for Qiu Changtian's strategy, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory and cannot bring fundamental changes to the situation... After all, everyone is still immersed in the glory of "our Kunlun is the number one sect in the world", so they are unwilling to let the Demon Sect It took too long to face off, and the majority of people hoped for a quick victory.

Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian let out a long sigh.

Alas, I'm sorry for Kunlun, but Wei Dongliu really can't lose this time.

He still kept smiling, without any annoyance, just said to Headmaster Ziwei:

"Since this is the case, follow what the elders said, and implement a two-pronged strategy."

"Yes." Headmaster Ziwei nodded.

So Kunlun began to mobilize manpower... At the same time, some kind of rumors that "Chang Geng was publicly criticized by the elders for being too indecisive" also began to spread in Kunlun.

There were quite a few Elder Yuanying in the main hall of Kunlun that day. Although with their current status, they would definitely not betray Kunlun and leak out the final plan, but after returning, they mentioned the elder Nine Strategies to the younger generation. Sharp review, but not impossible.

Therefore, although he knew that the Zhao family must be behind this, Qiu Changtian had no way to deal with it. After all, Elder Jiu Ce really said so.

"It's really unreasonable!" Qiu Changtian was not very angry (even because of what happened to him, he was mostly guilty), Xu Yinglian was furious, rushed to find Elder Xu who was in charge of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and questioned:

"They make use of this topic to slander the senior brother. Is this the only way the clan is watching?"

"This is a public discussion." Elder Xu comforted her, "But as long as the war goes well, a little slander will be self-defeating."

The so-called "public discussion" refers to the discussion of most people.

Although the Tiannan Xu family is strong in Kunlun, it is impossible to shut up all the Kunlun monks, and no one is allowed to criticize Qiu Changtian.

After all, this world has neither online courts nor small essays that confuse black and white, and it is impossible to use a team of dozens of people to create a scene of thousands of troops washing the ground.

The only advantage is that everyone's forgetfulness is also very fast. As long as Qiu Changtian still serves as the commander-in-chief and the battle goes smoothly, the final credit will still fall on his head.

The evaluation of "indecisiveness" is nothing more than some jumping clowns saying something amazing, and it won't last long.

Of course Xu Yinglian knew this too, but she couldn't get enough of some monk's eccentric remarks, so she went back to Jinling sullenly, unhappy.

Qiu Changtian also comforted his wife in turn, telling her not to care about those people, which made Xu Yinglian angry and funny.

Chapter 67 Tiannan Xu's Counterattack

The real Yunhong looks like a mature man in his 30s.

Although he usually speaks softly and kindly, but when he gestures, he often has a persuasive demeanor.

Coupled with the deep background of the Zhao family in Guyuan behind him, many Kunlun real people are naturally willing to make friends with him, or help him do something within their ability, in exchange for the friendship of this "big man" - this senior brother Zhao When Kunlun looked after him, Qiu Changtian hadn't paid homage to Kunlun Mountain yet.

Therefore, to a certain extent, this Zhao Jinghong is a super-enhanced version of Song He—after all, Song He neither has connections in Kunlun for hundreds of years, nor does he have a powerful Xiuxian family to support him.

Facing Song He, Qiu Changtian didn't even need to make a move, as long as he put the evidence against him in front of the teacher Ziwei, Song He would die directly.

But for Zhao Jinghong... First of all, there must be no evidence against him.

With this real Yunhong's status, if he really wanted to embarrass anyone, he didn't even need to do it himself, someone would naturally do it for him.

Even if it is not done properly, what damage can he suffer?It's all just the assertions of the subordinates.

Because of this, Qiu Changtian couldn't fight back personally, so he could only instruct his junior sister Xu Yinglian to let Tiannan Xu's family come to see the tricks.

Nascent Soul monks have a long lifespan, and a head teacher often has to stay in the position for a long time, and will also provide huge benefits for the family behind him during his reign.

The current head teacher of Ziwei is from the Ge family, the last head teacher of Kunlun is from the Luo family, and the previous one is from the Xu family... The Zhao family in Guyuan is bound to win the position of the next head teacher, but the Tiannan Xu family has been absent for two consecutive generations. The blessings brought by him have been exhausted, so how are you willing to give up your position?

After all, who stipulated that the position of head teacher of Kunlun must be held by the four major families in line?

Therefore, Tiannan Xu's family quickly made a sharp counterattack and notified in private:

All the monks in the Xu family's camp will give priority to implementing Chang Geng's Guanzhong defense strategy.

The so-called "priority of implementation" essentially means "no time to participate in the surprise attack plan of Master Yunhong", which expresses his rejection of the Zhao family.

Guyuan Zhao’s response was also very quick, and they internally notified almost tit-for-tat that all the monks in the Zhao family’s camp would give priority to follow the dispatch arrangements of Master Yunhong (no longer listen to Master Chang Geng).

The defensive strategy in Guanzhong requires a large number of manpower, but the surprise attack on Beimang only requires the elite, that is, the higher the level of cultivation and fighting skills, the better.

Because the Xu family expressed a non-cooperative attitude, there were a lot of vacancies in the original surprise attack team list, and high-level monks were a minority after all.

The Zhao family dispatched more high-level monks than originally planned, but it was not enough to fill the original vacancy, so they had to lobby the Luo family for help and send more people.

As for Qiu Changtian's defense strategy, because the requirements for the monks are not high, it only allowed Tiannan Xu's family to have more than a hundred monks, and easily made up for the absence of the Zhao family's monks, without even asking Ge home for help.

The Zhao family in Guyuan was deflated, and then carried out a corresponding second counterattack:

They found Chisong Immortal and accused the Xu family of such despicable infighting behavior.

Immortal Chisong also had a headache when he heard it.After all, the Xu family didn't say "do not support Reverend Yunhong", but only "cooperate with Reverend Chang Geng first", what can he do?

This is a monastic sect, not a secular court!Moreover, Immortal Chisong is not the ancestor of the Demon Cult, so it is naturally impossible to press down on the people below and say "No! You must not give priority to cooperating with Master Chang Geng's plan", isn't that clearly pulling sideways?

After all, this immortal has lived for a long time, and of course he will not be troubled by this kind of internal strife. Even if he asks the people from the Zhao family to go back, he will call in the head teacher Ziwei and leave the mess to him to solve it.

Ziwei's head teacher is from the Ge family, so she has something to say about it:

"Yunhong's surprise attack plan is too risky. If the Demon Sect knew about it in advance, there would be no advantage at all."

"Aren't all the people in the hall that day from our own?" Chisong Immortal asked leisurely.

"Yes." Headmaster Ziwei replied, "All the Kunlun elders present are the mainstay of the sect. The real ones are only Chang Geng and Yunhong."

The mainstay of the sect means that personal interests are highly tied to Kunlun, and it is absolutely impossible to betray.

Immortal Chisong also felt relieved, waved his hand and said:

"Since that's the case, that kid Yunhong wants to try a trick, let him try it?"

"Actually, this is also good. If you win, the credit for this battle will go to the Zhao family; if you lose, the Zhao family will take the lead in the loss anyway, so the Xu family won't make trouble and come to my place to make noise."

"This..." Headmaster Kunlun frowned.

If the immortal didn't make it clear, even if the surprise attack was successful, part of the credit would fall on Qiu Changtian's head.After all, this plan was kept secret from most of the Kunlun monks beforehand. Everyone only knew that Master Chang Geng was in charge of the war, so the prestige of the final victory would naturally belong to him.

But Chisong Immortal said so, it is tantamount to a clear score: the Zhao family belongs to the Zhao family, and the Xu family belongs to the Xu family.

If the surprise attack on Beiman Mountain was successful, it would be a great deal of credit; as for Qiu Changtian's defense plan in Guanzhong, what credit could there be?

Even if every mine is well guarded, everyone only thinks that it should be done. If they can't keep it, it will become a huge mistake.

If it is really necessary to distinguish so clearly, it will definitely be detrimental to Qiu Changtian.

Thinking of this, Master Ziwei even had a dark thought for a while: If the surprise attack on Beimang Mountain suffered a major failure, would it appear that Chang Geng is mature and prudent, with foresight?

But after all, he is the head teacher of Kunlun, with an open mind, he quickly put such thoughts behind him.

Not to mention anything else, even if Yunhong took Chang Geng's position as head teacher in the end, he would not choose to harm the interests of the Kunlun Sect in order to prevent this.

Since Chang Geng thought that Yunhong's strategy was too radical, let the facts speak for themselves.

If Chang Geng's prediction is wrong, I naturally have nothing to say.

Of course, if Chang Geng is proved to be right in the end, then I will have to come and talk to the immortal.

What's going on with the Xu family and the Zhao family?In order to fight for power and profit, it is really wrong to turn the sect into a mess!

Thinking about it this way, Headmaster Ziwei didn't say much, just said goodbye and left cleanly.

So only the Chisong Immortal was left in front of the Tianmen Hall. He sat alone under the withered pine, facing the stone chessboard in front of him, holding black in his left hand and white in his right hand, playing chess happily.

"One is radical and the other is conservative. Hey, these two are interesting."

"It's just that the position of the head teacher of Kunlun is determined by a victory or defeat? In my opinion, those who are not discouraged by defeat are more suitable to lead the sect than those who are proud of victory."

"Let's continue to observe carefully to see how the tempers of these two people are, so we can draw conclusions later."

Chapter 68 A Man's Conscience and Bottom Line

Qiu Changtian suddenly discovered that more and more people began to speak ill of him.

The reason was that a real Kunlun was visiting the seventh junior sister Jian Qingnan's cave, and casually said that the real Chang Geng was too weak towards the Demon Cult, but Jian Qingnan turned his face on the spot to see the guest off.

After Qiu Changtian found out, he went to investigate the background of the other party, and found that they were not monks from the Zhao family and the Luo family, and of course they were not from the Xu family or the Ge family, but from a third-party neutral faction.

Apparently, someone has already started spreading rumors among the neutral monks to destroy Qiu Changtian's reputation in Kunlun.

About how to fight the Demon Cult, a thousand Kunlun monks probably have a thousand ideas.It is impossible for decision makers to satisfy everyone, but if they are not satisfied, they will be vilified, which is too outrageous.

Zhao Jinghong must be playing tricks!
